Story
A suite for collaboration
Herman Miller introduced Exclave in a June 2015 press release as performance gear for collaboration spaces, created with the design consultancy Continuum. The design story says Gianfranco Zaccai founded Continuum in 1983 and that the team began by building a project space where every component could be placed, moved and replaced.
Local and remote participants
The design brief was to enhance collaboration in groups for local and remote participants, and the brochure says the table shapes are meant to keep clear lines of sight to displays around the perimeter.
